Nannies for Families
Visiting Cape Town
If you are travelling to Cape Town with young children, a vetted nanny lets you enjoy the trip rather than manage it. We match visiting families with nannies who come to your villa or hotel, from a few hours to full days. You book before you fly and meet your nanny by video first, so nobody arrives as a stranger.

→Why Visiting Families Choose Us
Why Visiting Families Choose Us
Leaving your child with someone in an unfamiliar country is the part every parent thinks about. It is why our vetting comes first and why you always meet your nanny before you travel. We are a referral and invitation-only network, so every nanny has been interviewed in person, background checked and reference checked before they are ever offered to a family.
You are not booking a stranger from a listing. You are meeting a vetted person on a video call, agreeing the details in writing, and arriving to someone who already knows your children's routines.
How It Works
How It Works
Tell Us Your Trip
Share your dates, where you are staying, and your children's ages and needs. Four to six months ahead is ideal, as the December to January peak and Easter fill first.
We Match and You Meet by Video
We introduce a vetted nanny who fits your trip, and you speak with them on a video call before you commit, with no obligation.
Confirm and Prepare
We put the details in writing, from hours to allergies and house rules, so everyone is clear before you fly.
Arrive to a Familiar Face
Your nanny is ready when you land, and you have a dedicated priority number, covered 24 hours a day for your stay.
What We Cover
What We Cover
Most visiting families book a holiday nanny for villa or hotel childcare across the day. For weddings and celebrations, an event nanny keeps the children happy through the ceremony and reception. Nannies can also travel with you within South Africa, including on safari, so the trip works for everyone.
Vetting Comes First
Vetting Comes First
Every nanny is interviewed in person, cleared through a comprehensive SAPS background and criminal record check, first aid certified through Safe Kids, and reference checked with at least three previous employers by phone or video call. You can read the full process on our vetting page. That screening is the reason visiting families trust us with the part of the trip that matters most.
Our Commitments
Our Commitments
Every booking comes with our four commitments: an unsuitable match replaced within 24 hours at no charge, a meet-first video call before you travel, a reply to your enquiry within 24 hours, and first-day confidence, so if the first day does not work, you do not pay for it.
